I’m excited to have had a chance to play with the Chalk it Up Picture My Life cards.  I made these for teacher appreciation in May… so I’m a little behind in posting them… but I really wanted to share how they turned out. I’m definitely a rookie in using the Picture My Life cards from Close To…

I wanted to have fun with the Taste of Summer paper packet one more time and give a preview of the June Stamp of the Month.  It is yours for $5 with a $50 purchase from my website during the month of June.  I’m using Chocolate ink for the sentiment and some Purple glitter gems…

The vibrant colors of the Taste of Summer paper from Close To My Heart is so fun!  It really puts me in the mood for summer.  If you love it too, be sure to get it ordered from my website before the end of the month.  Today I’m using the paper packet and the coordinating…

Today I have a banner created for my Mom’s Catholic Daughters annual conference.  The banner and letter were cut using the Close To My Heart Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge.  This is CTMH’s first cricut collection.  I seem to find myself going back to it time and time again.

May is National Scrapbooking Month and Close To My Heart has a special paper pack to celebrate!  I’m using Taste of Summer for the next couple signs for my little lady.  It’s so hard for me to believe she already needed her 7 month sign!  I loved the Taste of Summer paper packet so much that I went…

This is a card from the Cut Above Birthday Kit.  These were so fun and easy to throw together.  I really like the way the envelopes included in the kit coordinate with the card and have the same yellow patterned triangles. I also really like the way the woodgrain is included on both the front and back of…

My Close To My Heart Deal of the Day for $150 arrived in the mail.  This means I received $325 of goodies for $150.  To quality for the Deal of the Day you just need to place an order on my website for a regular priced item.  The first picture below is one where I tried…

Unfortunately, I was in need of a sympathy card for a fellow member of church.  I think the gold shimmer trim really adds just the right amount of light to the card.  The background paper was from a 4×6 card stack I’ve had laying around for awhile.  I’m excited to put it to use!  The…
